Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common health concerns among women and is the leading cause of cancer-related death around the world. Women, in particular young women, face unique and complex problems with BC. Physical, psychological, emotional, educational, and long-term BC-related problems have been recognized for these vulnerable populations. Besides BC patients, their families and relatives challenge with various problems such as financial and supportive issues in supporting these patients.
The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the BC patient's major problems and describe current supportive initiatives and programs that support these patients, their advancements to date, existing challenges, and possible future actions. Data collection took place by conducting a comprehensive search on the Internet, Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. We also discuss the contingency options, which lead to improving medical and supportive care, as well as overcoming barriers to providing comprehensive and optimal care and support for these unique groups of patients.
The result revealed that several comprehensive and well-developed BC programs and initiatives have been established around the world for providing and focusing on BC patient's clinical care, supportive care, education, survivorship, navigation, and research. However, despite considerable advancement in this area, there are still significant challenges in addressing the BC patient's needs.
Evaluation of the current situation of BC patient's treatment and quality of life highlighted the importance of developing and implementing the new and most efficient healthcare programs and protocols, as well as improving and optimizing the existing ones to improve and enhance the survival rate and quality of life of BC patients.
乳腺癌是女性最常见的健康问题之一，也是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因。女性，尤其是年轻女性，在乳腺癌方面面临着独特而复杂的问题。对于这些弱势群体，身体、心理、情感、教育以及与乳腺癌相关的长期问题已得到认可。除了乳腺癌患者，他们的家人和亲属也面临着各种问题，比如在支持这些患者时遇到的经济和支持方面的问题。
本研究的主要目的是评估乳腺癌患者的主要问题，并描述当前支持这些患者的举措和项目、它们迄今取得的进展、现存挑战以及未来可能采取的行动。通过在互联网、Medline、PubMed和谷歌学术数据库上进行全面搜索来收集数据。我们还讨论了应急方案，这些方案有助于改善医疗和支持性护理，以及克服为这些特殊患者群体提供全面和最佳护理及支持的障碍。
结果显示，世界各地已经建立了几个全面且完善的乳腺癌项目和举措，以提供并专注于乳腺癌患者的临床护理、支持性护理、教育、生存、导航和研究。然而，尽管在这一领域取得了相当大的进展，但在满足乳腺癌患者需求方面仍存在重大挑战。
对乳腺癌患者治疗现状和生活质量的评估凸显了制定和实施新的、最有效的医疗保健项目和方案的重要性，以及改进和优化现有项目和方案以提高乳腺癌患者的生存率和生活质量的重要性。
